Comments

GERMANY - FREE CITY OF NUREMBERG
Nuremberg became a free city in 1219 and was granted the right to mint coins in 1376, a right confirmed in 1422. The city minted from 1390 until 1806, the year of secularization. In that year, the town became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria.

The Latin motto on this type comes from the Bible, Psalm 17, verse 8:
"A resistentibus dexterae tuae custodi me ut pupillam oculi sub umbra alarum tuarum proteges me "
Guard me as the apple of your eye; protect me under the shadow of your wings.Automatically translated
